Disentangling Genetic and Prenatal Maternal Effects on Offspring Size and Survival.

The American naturalist - 1 Dec 2016

Pick Joel L, Ebneter Christina, Hutter Pascale, Tschirren Barbara

Abstract excerpt

Organizational processes during prenatal development can have long-term effects on an individual's phenotype. Because these early developmental stages are sensitive to environmental influences, mothers are in a unique position to alter their offspring's phenotype by differentially allocating resources to their developing young. However, such prenatal maternal effects are difficult to disentangle from other forms...
